Finish: Scrappy Trips Around the World

Last week I did a LOT of quilting and got my Scrappy Trips Around the World quilt DONE! This was part of the impromptu quilt-a-long and it was fun to see everyone's pictures in the Flickr Group.

I chose to use rather traditional fabrics in my quilt, and felt that a simple, all-over, traditional quilting pattern would be appropriate: so I did orange-peel quilting using my walking foot. You can see a tutorial on how to quilt this pattern with your walking foot here. It took a while, and it is far from perfect quilting, but I really love the end results.

To back the quilt, I used a fun green gingham fabric with pink flowers from Mary Jane Butter's Glamping collection for Moda (and a piece of pink reproduction fabric with kitties from my stash).

This quilt was also on my "To Do" list for Q3 in the Finish-A-Long. One done!
